Personal Profile

I am a highly motivated, enthusiastic and conscientious individual, who is good-natured with excellent interpersonal skills. I am a logical thinker with an analytical mind, who likes problem solving. I enjoy challenges, goal setting, and most of all the enjoyment and self-satisfaction of success in all I attempt.


Leisure Activities

I find socialising is an excellent means of meeting interesting people. I enjoy travelling, which I know broadens my perspective of people and other places. I also like swimming, ten-pin bowling and walking as a means of exercise and relaxation. I use my home computer for pleasure and to maintain my skills.
